The project scored with judges in the events category at the prestigious Purple Apple Awards – an annual event run by the British Council of Shopping Centres.

Sally Sookia, who is in charge of marketing at Eagles Meadow, said: “We are all very proud the Wrexham FC pop-up museum was honoured at the Purple Apple Awards which are effectively the Oscars of the shopping centre industry.

“Although I was the lucky one who collected the award on stage, I would like to stress it was a big team effort and I would like to pay tribute to the centre manager Kevin Critchley and his team at Eagles Meadow for their enthusiastic contribution.”
